Profile: Karen Gilmore

A little more than six weeks into her role as head of the Miami Branch of the Federal Reserve of Atlanta, Karen Gilmore is adjusting nicely.

The Doral-area compound where Greater Miami’s cash operations are housed provides a different view of the area than that which her previous roles in the banking industry offered. But it’s just that – her 30-plus years in the Miami business and banking community – that make her perfectly suited to her new role.

And while she’s already come out of retirement once before, to co-found a consulting firm, Ms. Gilmore expects to be in her new role for quite some time.
